I am replacing all my rear trailing arms and noticed that I'm missing one of my bolts that holds the hub spindle onto the arm. The bolts comes from the back of the Trailing arm and are torques which there is 4. anyone know what the size and thread pitch is or where to get one cheap? I can't get the other ones out as they are all corroded in. In the picture its where there are 4 holes on the rear trailing arm on the back to get to the bolts

These will be suspension are are design for track performance and generally use sticky compound / semi-slick tyres.
The springs rate are on the high side and road compliancy will be compromised for better weight transfer control during track use.

Our aim will be have a setup under £1,000. That is where we want to set our bar....

Because.... all these arms come without the hub and bearing, and they all look the same!?!

See, I bought a BNIB ITR USDM Right rear trailing arm, years ago.... now that I started to pick up my project again, I see that the Left rear trailing arm has been discounted. Part Number 52371-ST7-R02

Any help?]]>4Are these skunk2 lca real or fakeSat, 27 Jan 2018 21:10:51 +0000http://www.ek9.org/index.php?threads/are-these-skunk2-lca-real-or-fake.73670/

I currently run a set of very old D2 coilovers. I have no idea on the spring rates but they are very firm.

They have been on the car for over 7 years.

I want to switch to something that hasn't been abused and not leaking.

The car is now running a K20 and I'm looking for something else. I have been looking at the BC range of coilovers and their BR Series Coilover : Type RH

But I have no idea on what spring rates to look at. I think the D2's are 12kg front 8kg rear.

The car is a...

I'm thinking of doing an F23 swap but I really don't know what to use for suspension.
I was thinking of dc2 springs with bilstein b6 but feedback on itr forum is that h22 dc2 with stock springs handle like crap. So now I'm thinking accord type r spring at the front and dc2 at the back possibly with b8 shocks.

My plan is to remove my sway bars to start with, put the car on meister r coilovers, get some good tires, get it corner weighted and full alignment and then start playing with sway bars and traction bars. Anyone see a problem with this or a better way of fine tuning how you want the car to handle? What...

Been quiet for a little while, unfortunately haven't been able to spend a lot of money on the car lately. However I did notice a while back my rear LCA bushings were a little beat.

I decided instead of having them pressed out, and purchasing new bushings I would freshen up the rear end a bit and get new LCAs.

There's a few options I was interested in going with but I'm on a bit of a budget... The contenders were:

BWR Rear LCAs - bit iffy on these ones, they seem to have...
